codlin moth in check where this troublesome insect has established 
itself. It is important that the early spraying should be made as 
directed. In bad cases an extra spraying is given a few weeks after 
the one given whilst the blossoms are falling. Do not neglect the 
trees during an ‘“‘off’”? year because there is little fruit, the spores 
living and thriving on branches and leaves as well, will cause great 
loss the following season.
